Amazing Discovery! Fossils of Giant Creatures Preserved in Ice Age Ice Reveal Evidence of a Lost Civilization That Will Change History!

The video begins with Katrina introducing the fascinating world of dinosaurs, highlighting the discovery of over 1000 species since the 19th century. In the early 19th century, the general belief was that the Earth was flat and the centre of the universe.

This perception was challenged when William Buckland became the first person to name a dinosaur in a paper he published in 1824. He named the creature Megalosaurus , which translates to “great lizard” in English, and in Vietnamese, it is known as. This discovery was both exciting and fortunate, as Megalosaurus was one of the first fearsome creatures, living 155 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic period in Europe. At 30 feet long and weighing around 2,200 pounds, it was a formidable predator, equipped with massive, razor-sharp teeth capable of chewing through bone.

The video then moves on to the world’s first predator, an ancient relative of modern jellyfish. Scientists believe they have identified the first creature to realize that hunting other animals was easier than grazing for nutrients. This prehistoric predator lived 560 million years ago and is related to both jellyfish and corals. To commemorate this remarkable discovery, researchers named the creature Aurora Lumina attenbori in honor of Sir David Attenborough. Found in England’s fossil-rich Charnwood Forest, this apex predator existed just before the Cambrian Explosion, a period when life forms began to proliferate in ways never seen before.

Next, the video explores the mysterious Dinokyrus , one of the most enigmatic creatures of the Mesozoic era. This dinosaur was first discovered in Mongolia in 1965, when researchers found a pair of arms that were unlike anything they’d seen before – they measured an astonishing 2.5 metres (8 feet) from shoulder to wrist and ended in three-fingered hands equipped with claw-like appendages. It was initially thought to belong to a new type of theropod predator, but researchers only had these long arm bones to study, leaving much of its identity a mystery. However, in 2015, two new Dinokyrus specimens were discovered, allowing scientists to reconstruct the full body of this “terrible-armed” dinosaur. It turned out to be a strange, bird-like lizard that lived in Asia around 100 million years ago. Standing 12 metres tall and weighing 7 tonnes, Dinokyrus was probably a herbivore that used its long arms and claws to gather plant matter. Interestingly, despite its enormous size, Dinokyrus had an incredibly small brain, making it less intelligent than most birds.

Another prehistoric creature being talked about is Brigmo faceter , a Miocene-era whale that lived about 20 million years ago near the islands of Japan. Though relatively small at 21 feet, this whale was a fierce carnivore that hunted fish, squid, and possibly even other whales. While not much is known about its hunting habits, scientists speculate that it may have used echolocation, much like modern sperm whales. Found in limited fossil form, the physiology of this whale remains a mystery, but it likely shared many social and behavioral traits with contemporary whales, such as living in pods. Despite its predatory nature, Brigmo faceter was often preyed upon by a much larger ancient predator: the gigantic Megalodon , a shark roughly three times its size, which hunted whales like Brigmo faceter in the same waters.

The video also highlights Dickinsonia , one of the oldest known animals on Earth. Fossilized footprints of this pancake-shaped creature resembling the underside of a mushroom were discovered in the 1940s. Living 558 million years ago during the Ediacaran period, these animals could grow up to five feet long, dwarfing other microscopic life forms of the time. For years, scientists debated whether Dickinsonia was actually an animal or a large, single-celled organism. However, recent research confirmed its animal status through the discovery of biomarkers preserved in fossils found in Russia, which contain 93% cholesterol, a defining characteristic of animal life.

Finally, the video delves into the peculiar discovery of Rosenbergorix , a prehistoric cousin of the wildebeest, unearthed in a Kenyan stream. Looking like a cross between a dinosaur and a mammal, Rosenbergorix roamed the African savannahs 75,000 years ago. One of its most striking features was a nasal structure similar to the crests seen on hadrosaur dinosaurs, which were used to attract mates millions of years earlier. Despite the extinction of the dinosaurs 66 million years ago, no other mammal developed such a crest until this strange cousin of the wildebeest came along. Why this strange African mammal developed such a trait remains a mystery, adding another fascinating enigma to the prehistoric world.

Through these fascinating discoveries, the video takes viewers on a journey through time, offering insight into the incredible diversity and evolution of life on Earth, from ancient jellyfish predators to strange dinosaur-like mammals. Each discovery helps scientists piece together the intricate and astonishing story of our planet’s prehistoric past.
